It has been a year already since the visit to the Canal Museum and the SCI London Group have organised another social event. Instead of boats and barges the theme is beer and bloomers as we are visiting both the garden of Chiswick House and Fuller's Griffin Brewery on Friday 12 June.
The day will start bright and early at 9.45am on the forecourt of Chiswick House (pictured right) to meet our tour guide who will take us on a tour of the historic gardens of Chiswick that were recently restored in 2010. We will be able to see the grand vistas, hidden pathways and a dazzling array of flowers, shrubs and specimen trees whilst listening to our guide, who will explain some of the history of the gardens which were the birthplace of the English Landscape Movement and the inspiration for great gardens from Blenheim Palace to New York’s Central Park.
After we have worked up an appetite walking round the garden we will have a leisurely walk to the nearby Mawson Arms for a pub lunch and a drink. On the menu are the traditional pub favourites such as fish and chips, steak and ale pie, as well as vegetarian and less traditional options to suit all tastes. It will also be possible to sample some of Fuller's speciality beers.
Tickets for this event cost just £20 per person and is open to SCI members and their guests.
Spaces for the event are limited, so you are advised to book early. To book your place, please click on the link below.
